I'm not a racist, but I know the motherf***kers that want reperations need to be slapped repeatedly with a hot salmon until sense makes its way into their minds.

Reperations: Let's see, because my ancestors 150-400 years ago were abused by the ancestors of less than 5% of the freakin country, EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY should give ME money from their TAXES. What a f***ing joke.

Also, I swear, if I ever hear anyone that's not a white male complain about government discrimination I'ma dual wield hot salmon all over their face. White males are like the only ones that don't get magical gov't grants for college that pop out of nowhere. As a white male, my ONLY option is student loans, which I pay back at interest. The funny thing is, I don't even care, I'd love to pay it back, but it bothers me that because of the color of their skin, other people in my country get a free ride that my taxdollars pay for.

K, I'm done. Sorry if I offended anyone, blah blah blah. I recently found out about this grant thing trying to get into school. I can't get financial aid or grants because my parents make too much money (even though they're in the hole and have said since day one they won't help pay for college period), and because I'm white. There's even a grant for college just because you're a woman. What the hell man, I thought we (americans) were about equality, not privledging certain groups based on trivial things like sex and skin...

Edit: Funny thing is, since I'm speaking up for white males, I'll probably be labelled a sexist or racist pretty soon here.

Racism of this type shouldn't be tolerated by any sane person. No wonder various minority groups have to fight decades for even the slightest acceptance...

My issue isn't that you're speaking up for White males, but that you bought into the wrong arguments. Social programs helped all poor people no matter their race. If you make too much money, as the government defines it, you loose out. That also applies to people of all races. You have a problem with how the government calculates wealth- not with people who are poor and need the assistance.

Nobody gets a free ride in America.

Dont smear my province. The KKK is a problem that is endemic to the southern US, and has never been a problem in Alberta.

80 years ago..

Canada's ten largest various faith groups:

In decreasing order:
Group Membership % of total population
Roman Catholic 12.8 million 43.2%
No religion 4.8 million 16.2%
United Church 2.8 million 9.6%
Anglican 2.0 million 6.9%
Other Christian, Apostolic, Born-again, Evangelical 780 thousand 2.6%
Baptist 729 thousand 2.5%
Lutheran 607 thousand 2.0%
Muslim 580 thousand 2.0%
Other Protestant 549 thousand 1.9%
Presbyterian 410 thousand 1.4%

Once Jim Crows laws ensured the political and social domination of whites and all but eliminated basic civil rights for blacks, the original KKK disbanded. It was revived again during the 1920s in opposition to Catholic and Jewish immigration to the United States.

They would be southern baptists, which is only 2.5 percent of the religious population of Canada. of that 2.5% most would be decent people. consider this: if 2.5 of albertans are baptists, and there are 3 million Albertans, and 1% of those baptists are kkk friendly, then only 0.025% of albertans MIGHT be considered kkk, or 7500 people. Not a lot.

Short Answer: No real kkk population in Alberta, or you would have conflicts with the huge catholic population, lynchings of early black cowboys, or maybe the
oldest mosque in Canada?

So maybe you mean skinheads, and that I can concede there are probably a few. I met a few that were tied in with the bikers around here. Funny though, that they had aboriginal members, and visited gay tattooists. They couldnt have been too hardcore.
